Our Commitment

Western Michigan University is an institution of higher education with strong values of responsibility and integrity. The Board of Trustees is committed to promoting behavior which is ethical, in compliance with University and other legal requirements, and respectful of the rights of others throughout the campus community and beyond.

You should feel comfortable in approaching your supervisor or management in instances where you have a good faith belief violations of University or other legal requirements have occurred. In situations where you prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, you are encouraged to use this hotline hosted by a third party hotline provider, EthicsPoint.

Unless you choose to disclose your name, the information you provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis. Your comments will be heard. Follow up steps will depend on the nature of the report, the amount of information provided, and other University policies, requirements, and collective bargaining agreements.

You also may have an obligation under law or University policy or other requirements to report perceived violations. In the event you are uncertain about your reporting obligation, please consult with the Office of Internal Audit.

Issues related to faculty members can be directed to the chairperson/director of the faculty member’s department/school, except as otherwise provided in other WMU’s policy or requirements (such as the WMU Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Violence, Intimate Violence, and Stalking Policy and Procedures).
